Peru’s pro-Trump frontrunner stalls as election nears
TL;DR Summary
Peru’s presidential race features 35 candidates, but Rafael Lopez Aliaga, once the frontrunner with a pro‑Trump stance, has slipped to about 7% and is unlikely to reach a June runoff, as Keiko Fujimori leads in polls. Analysts say Trump’s endorsement is not decisive for most Peruvians, who remain focused on domestic issues and distrust the US more than China, making Aliaga’s late alignment with Trump a potential risk rather than a boost in this highly unpredictable contest.
